Insects’ RNA Profiling Reveals Absence of “Hidden Break” in 28S Ribosomal RNA Molecule of Onion Thrips, Thrips tabaci

Figure 2

Multiple alignment of gap region of B. mori 28S rRNA sequence against corresponding region in G. morsitans morsitans, A. mellifera, A. glycine, and T. knoxi. Dots indicate gaps introduced during alignment to maximize homology. UAAU highlighted in blue forms the “hidden break” in rRNA sequences from different organisms.
